(Will go live August 8) to fill out the Parking Application.  Students must be signed in to their UCPS Google account to register.  If you are new to UCPS, then please email josh.wall@ucps.k12.nc.us and he will contact you on how to register for a parking pass.  

Parking on the Porter Ridge Campus is considered a privilege for students. Each student who drives to school must purchase his/her own parking tag, and may not share a tag with another student. PRHS and UCPS will assume no responsibility for damage to private vehicles driven and parked on campus. Student drivers must have appropriate auto insurance. All student drivers must be properly licensed.

Parking Passes are restricted to students in grades 10, 11, and 12. Students must have a valid driver’s license, not a learner’s permit. Students cannot purchase a pass for future needs, they must be qualified to do so now (grades 10, 11, and 12 with a valid driver’s license).

All students who are granted parking privileges will be charged a $50 non-refundable fee.  Parking spot priority is to be assigned based on grade level, starting with 12th grade first, then 11th grade, then 10th grade.   Students will be assigned in the order they fill out the form. Students will select a desired parking zone (refer to the map below). The actual parking spot will be assigned in your selected zone based on the purchase receipt timestamp. Once a zone is full, you will not be able to purchase a pass in that area and will be assigned to the next closest zone. 

Seniors who wish to paint their parking spots must click here and read all the information, then click here to apply. Click here for the approval and agreement form. In this application you must upload the painting agreement and a color sketch of your proposed artwork for approval.  Click here to pay the additional $50 fee. You must have already paid for a parking spot and have filled out the PRHS Registration application for a parking spot.  You may not paint until you are assigned a parking spot and your artwork is approved.  You may only paint on the appointed day and time.  Please email josh.wall@ucps.k12.nc.us with questions.
